Quick note :

I know the past few chapters were more on the boring side. But do not fear : more action is coming! After this chapter..

The past few chapters were however very important as they lead up to the action.

Thanks for reading and I hope you are ready for some action!

-------------------------------------------

It had been two days since my last conversation with Him, the person who the people in this building called Prince Aiden.

The past two days I had been sitting in my room, as ordered by the prince. The only visits I got were from Mary, when she brought me breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Other than that I hadn't seen Felix or the prince, and to be honest that wasn't something that bothered me too much.

I did like the moments when Mary visited. Besides from the food she brought, she had also given me a couple of books from the library.

And even though she was ordered not to speak to me, we often shared some words. Most of the time I asked her questions, which she tried to answer.

But she never said much, afraid to say something wrong. Something that she wasn't alowed to say from Him.

By the rumbling of my stomach, I could tell it was almost time for breakfast. There was no clock in the room to keep track of time.

Instead I used the times Mary visited, and the way the light changed through the little window in my room.

It gave me something to hold on to whilst being on my own in the small room for hours at a time.

A small knock disturbed the silence, 'Miss, may I enter the room?'

'You've already opened the door, Mary. It would be stupid to not come in now.'

'I'm sorry Miss.' I sighed as Mary entered the room with an serving tray. She was too innocent to be living in this kind of world.

She placed the serving tray onto the small round table that stood in the middle of the room. It wasn't until she had put everything down, that I noticed the small black envelope she was holding in her hands.

'Master Aiden told me to give you this, Miss.' She gave me the envelope before hastily turning around and leaving the room. It seemed like she didn't want to talk today. Or maybe she was scared?

Gently I opened the little envelope, revealing the note that was inside. There wasn't much written on the paper, but just enough to make me wish I had never opened the note.

'Meet me in the Hall at eleven. Felix will escort you. A.'

Maybe I could just burn it and pretend I never read it? But then I would get Mary in trouble, because she had to deliver the note to me in first place. I had to meet him again.

I only ate half of the breakfast Mary had brought, for some obvious reasons mpI wasn't very hungry this morning.

Felix entered my room not much later, fully dressed in camouflage clothes as if he were ready to go to war.

'You're going somewhere?' I asked, although it wasn't really a question but more an observation.

'Scouting mission,' He mumbled, whilst looking around my room, 'are you ready to go?'
